We cannot currently change the size of a write-intent bitmap. So if we change the size of an array which has such a bitmap, it tries to set bits beyond the end of the bitmap. For now, simply reject any request to change the size of an array which has a bitmap. mdadm can remove the bitmap and add a new one after the array has changed size.
